What is the ruling on a man kissing his wife's mother, or a woman kissing her husband's father, and does that nullify ablution and fasting?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The wife's mother and the husband's father are considered unmarriageable relatives (mahrams), and kissing mahrams is permissible under three conditions. A kiss does not invalidate ablution (wudu') unless something else results from it, nor does it invalidate fasting unless it leads to the emission of semen.
